Aberdeen is in the state’s most productive agricultural region, producing cattle, hogs, sheep, soybeans, corn, wheat, barley, rye, hay, and sunflowers. The city’s economy has now diversified to include manufacturing (medical supplies, power transmission equipment, machine tools, and missile components) and services (travel services, agricultural marketing, and financial collection). Aberdeen is a health care, trade, and commercial center for a large region. Tourism, based on fishing and hunting (particularly during the autumn pheasant-hunting season), augments the economy.
